NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 2007

NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE

Nanny PayrollPlease note that from 1 October 2007 the national minimum wage increases to £5.52 gross per hour for anyone aged 22 and over and £4.60 gross per hour for those aged 18 to 21. The minimum rate for 16-17 year olds is £3.40 per hour.



The minimum wage is not considered to apply to a nanny who lives with the family as part of the household. However, it is generally thought that where the employee earns over the lower earnings threshold that they should be subject to the minimum wage requirements. Where the nanny has separate accommodation then the national minimum wage will apply subject to an offset of 4.15 per day for each day that accommodation is provided.

Please contact Taxing Nannies if you require further information.



INCREASED MINIMUM STATUTORY HOLIDAY ENTITLEMENT

From 1 October 2007 the statutory holiday entitlement has been changed and all workers now have a statutory right to at least 4.8 weeks paid annual leave (ie 24 days paid holiday if your employee work five days a week) and this needs to be pro-rated for those working part-time. If the contractual leave is already more than 24 days no change needs to be made to the contract of employment.

The minimum statutory holiday entitlement will increase again to 5.6 weeks from 1 April 2009 (ie 28 days for a five day week). There is no statutory right to be paid leave on bank and public holidays. If paid leave is given on a bank or public holiday, this can count towards the minimum entitlement of 4.8 weeks.



APPROVAL OF NANNIES FOR ENTITLEMENT TO CHILDCARE VOUCHERS

4. Ofsted will seek confirmation from applicants that they are not disqualified from providing childcare.
5. The applicant will be required to hold a current first aid certificate
6. Applications can be made in writing to Ofsted, National Business Unit, Royal Exchange Buildings, St Ann's Square, Manchester, M2 7LA, by phone on 08456 404040 or online on https://online.ofsted.gov.uk/OnlineOfsted/default.aspx
